Re: [hylafax-users] multiport modem and user based grouping



Omer Faruk Sen wrote:

Is it possible to configure hylafax to use spesific modem to send fax and
base  this on username of the sender?

For example I have 8 modems attached with muliport pci card and I want
user X to send fax through fax#1 and user Y to send fax through fax#2 and
etc..

I want to set this up using email interface of hylafax (faxmail).



Attached is a patch that will give you this feature. It should apply to most recent versions of HylaFAX. If you desire it in a tarball it is in 4.2.5.1 which can be found at:


http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/news/4.2.5.1.php

The feature basically adds an "owner" option to DestControls. Documentation can be seen in 'man destctrls' and here:

http://hylafax.sourceforge.net/man/destctrls.php

But, basically by adding an "owner" field to the DestControls entry you will restrict the application of that entry to apply only to jobs submitted by that owner (hfaxd login username). So, for example DestControls entries of:

.* owner=omer modem=ttyS0
.* owner=lee modem=ttyS1

This would make all jobs submitted by "omer" be sent through modem ttyS0 and all jobs submitted by "lee" be sent through modem ttyS1.

By the way which MultiPort PCI card do you advice me to use with FreeBSD 6.0?


The multiport PCI card options generally are Comtrol RocketModem II, Digi Acceleport RAS, MultiTech ISI, and MainPine RockForce... however, I think most of those probably won't have drivers for FreeBSD, so that leaves MainPine RockForce (it uses standard PCI serial drivers that I expect are in FreeBSD by default)... but don't take my word on it.


Lee.
